CHANGES OF ADDRESS investment properties - Bega Valley
May 13, 2008
Owners of investment properties in the Bega Valley Shire are being asked to check that Council has their correct mailing address before the rates notices are sent out in July.
“Each year we find that many rates notices are returned or lost because people have changed their mailing address, particularly for owners of investment properties,” a spokesperson for Council’s rates staff said this week.
“This can result in those ratepayers incurring late charges because they fail to pay their rates on time.”
The spokesperson said there was a Change of Address form available on Council’s website, www.begavalley.nsw.gov.au which must be completed, signed and returned with the new details.
Changes of address that involved other people, such as a son or daughter taking control of a parent’s business affairs, required the signature of the ratepayer on the Change of Address form.
Go to www.begavalley.nsw.gov.au and click on Application Forms. The Change of Address form is under ‘rates information’.
